Self-inquiry isn’t about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about noticing what’s already there.
Each day, we face people, situations, and emotions. Someone doesn’t text back. A comment feels sharp. A door closes. A new one opens. And in each moment, we respond.
But how we respond says more about what’s inside us than what’s happening around us.
If I’m carrying fear, I might hear rejection in silence. If I’m feeling insecure, I might see criticism where none was meant. If I’m grounded, I might feel peace even in a storm.
So I pause. And I ask, What am I feeling? What am I really reacting to? What part of me needs attention right now?
Self-inquiry is the quiet practice of turning inward. It’s not always easy, but it’s honest. And with honesty comes healing.
When I pause, I hear the truth inside - not the story I’ve told myself, not what I assumed, but what’s real, gentle, and ready to be seen.
